PLC Siemens S7-400 with Lookout

[gi?]

I need to connect my Lookout program with the PLC Siemens
S7-400 throught MPI gate.
How can I do it with Lookout 4.5 ??? and with LookOut 4.01??
What driver I have to use?? (HMI Adapter for S7-300/400 ??)
What kind of hardware do I need??
Do I need an extra-licence???

Thanks

Hi Previtali,


To use the MPI gate you will need to have a Profibus card installed in your system to act as an interpreter. This card is available from National Instruments. For more information search Profibus from the Online Store at:
